Lake Malawi Teaching Volunteer Project

As a teaching volunteer in Malawi you have a real chance to make a difference and your support will be invaluable. In rural Malawi teachers typically have to cope with class sizes of 80-120, by volunteering as a teacher you will be able to give the children the one to one attention that they deserve.

On your placement you will be partnered with a local teacher and will be working with one class, giving you an opportunity to really get to know the children you are working with, identify those who need extra support and see them progress. In some subjects such as English you might want to take the lead, in others you will be assisting your partner teacher and helping children with exercises during class.

Your afternoons will be spent running extra-curricular clubs and sports sessions. You will teach children about wildlife, have lots of fun with arts and crafts and help children to develop their skills in team sports.
